I have played countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of money at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this method or defeat the house, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet on the table. If I win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a number of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you see betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.
